Description
An old-school puzzle platformer in which you explore rooms, avoid perils and collect all coins to progress. Rotate the crank to undo your previous falls, keeping what you've collected. Missed some coins? Rotate! Falling in some spikes? Crank!! Test your forward thinking and logical skills. Plan your falls carefully, as your undos are limited. If you're not paying attention, you'll find yourself unable to restore back to the top, with coins still needing collecting! Features 20 puzzle rooms to challenge your wits Grab the undo crystal to enable going back up to five previous positions before falling Rotate the crank counterclockwise to move Elena back, keeping everything you've picked up Collect all coins in a room to open the passage to the next one Navigate through teleporters, locked doors, spikes, flying arrows, snakes, crumbling platforms and many more perils Crack a smile at Elena's musings!
